Trade Preferences

Trade preferences are benefits offered by countries to make importing certain goods easier and less expensive from particular nations. This often includes reduced tariffs or taxes, encouraging trade and economic growth. Preferences are typically granted to developing countries or economically disadvantaged nations to support their development. For example, a country may lower tariffs on goods from a specific partner country, making products cheaper for consumers and businesses. These arrangements foster international economic cooperation, improve access to markets, and promote mutual trade relationships, helping both importing and exporting nations benefit from increased commerce.
